Open for Thanksgiving 2026


Do you live in the Austin area and need a little help this Thanksgiving?


Whether you’re looking to pre-order a meal, dine-in on Thanksgiving, or pick up a meal the day-of, this list has you covered!


There is a common trend: BBQ restaurants/pits will usually have an order-ahead option for smoked meats, including whole turkeys; Steakhouses will usually have a same-day dine-in option, with reservations required or highly recommended; and, cafes have dine-in options and same-day call-ahead orders. Grocery stores will be open limited hours, so you can always grab pre-made meals. And of course, Jack in the Box has always been a cult classic over the years b/c it's open 24/7.


And if I missed any of your faves, please comment and I will be sure to add it. 


🍽️ Happy eating and Happy Thanksgiving y’all!! 🦃
